Street Lightning During Ramadan And What I did?
Good afternoon Steemians!
Ramadan mubarak to all my Muslims family!
We are now in the 5th day of Ramadan . The preparation before it was too busy , the more during these days. But I am not being tired but so happy for this holy month. All my respect to all Muslims especially to my employers family.
The First Night of Ramadan
I decided to refreshed myself before I started facing the moment of Ramadan. I took my walk that night to see the city circle . They have a new theme of the light . Before, it was colored green light. Now, the street are lighted with golden yellow.
The city round about circle has the most unique scenery.
The park are lighted too same the street light. Even the cat enjoyed the moment with the people around. One of the family hangimg out that cold night gave food to the cat.
What I really liked the children, the whole family bringing their food, tea and coffee and they happily eating together. What a great family they have. It's not only one group but a lot of them while I was alone with nothing. How I wished to bring my grandchildren with me in this place. Many things popped up in my mind.
Well, I was not taking the picture of the crowd. I was very careful in taking picture in this conservative country. I don't want that someone will be offended if I took picture facing on them.
The other side of the city center.
The Most Important of Ramadan
It's my obligation to do the cooking and my friend , co-worker she did the cleaning and washing the dishes. We balance our relationship between our obligation to avoid disagreements like what other housemaid does. Most of them have war between their tasks.
The first 5 days of Ramadan went successfully done giving foods everyday to five individual and it will be going through the whole month. May Allah give us strength. What my boss eats, they also eats. We are giving them equal part of the food and I am the one doing it. Dates and water are also among the food for breaking the fast. We distribute these 5 minutes before the sunset . They would come to our door and picked their foods. We are doing this 16 years ago and until now.
My boss also giving boxes of gift to poor people like rice, oil, sugar, oats, and any items of can goods. My boss family is doing Sadaqa.
House Decoration
The old light I kept and reconnected again in the garden. They thought that I throw it all. They never know that I was keeping all. On the first night, I surprised them turning the garden like having a lot of fireflies. They feel proud of what I was doing . How I preserved all those light for how many year they thought it was all gone already.
I just kept myself busy to avoid toxicity of my inner self .
Ramadan is so special moment for me too. I adopted the traditions, cultures ,and everything especially my faith to God. I think it is not a religion will save us but what the deeds we shared with people around us.
